He is Super Smart!

Someone's wiped out! After pre-school, Michael just hangs out, waiting to be picked up and snuggled by Mama---his only want in life. If I would sit next to him all day and all night he would be content. His No No's are NO longer working. He has figured that if he pushes himself hard enough he can still get to his head but will make red marks on his arms from the force. Two for the price of one. At school they have been using his helmet more often. But after the "Emergency Behavioral Meeting" on Friday it looks as if we may have more options to put forward. A plan was made up by myself and his teachers/therapists alike outlining a better plan for his time at school. Also, a USDB person is planning to certify myself and his teachers/therapists in what is called the Mand program. This is a behavior program which will also allow us to learn the most effective way of restraining Michael when he is trying to hurt himself and others. He has come home from school quite beat up in the past week which has had me very concerned. He is also hurting me much more severely than before. His PT, Jay, was saying that it is not surprising that Michael is stronger than me at this point since he is basically 'working out' every muscle in his body non stop through out a day. His concern was for the future as well. Meaning as Michael grows older and bigger, what then? I am looking forward to the opportunity of learning a new program and hopefully that this will decrease his aggressive behaviour dramatically. The consensus at the meeting? Michael is smart, very smart. Now that we can work with.
